Thanks for the nice comments guys. 
Driftwood at bottom is nailed to a pice of slate; drfitwood that's elevated (i.e., sitting on other pieces of drftwood) is natuarally sinking driftwood-- I forget what type of wood, but certain wood (maybe African driftwood?) sinks without needing to be weighed down.
Tanks is 96x24x36. Not a lot of depth back to front (24") but long (8 ft) and very high (3 ft). A great size tank for cichlids because thay don't need a ton of bottom space (like catfish), they prefer the length and height.
Tank is full of bad boys, but because everyone is of similar attitude, and because I keep it a bit ovecrowded, none of them get too territorial. So, no aggression. Yes, certain fish do "avoid" other fish, but rarely any gill flares, and I can't remember the last time I had any liplocking. This is an truly an "aggressive community tank". Lots of colors, constant movement, everybody eats like pigs-- a fun tank to watch!
Large Cichlids, the labs 'aint cheap-- but I can't remember the exact price.

I really like the look of your tank also! I am currently setting one up which will basically be a smaller version of yours. May I ask what brand of black substrate that is? It looks really nice. Thanks. And that is an awesome tank!
So you did it sort of like people do africans... overstocked the tank on purpose to spread aggression?
That is an AWESOME tank
That is an AWESOME tank
